Something about those maroon colored BNSF grain cars. They look so clean.

[@cadenmcmexican7999]

I know you had to go through a lot to make this video Drayton and I just wanted to say the effort more then shows. An amazing video as always

My appreciation for all the DelayInBlock people JC and photraghpers making this, Id say a masterpeice on the subject of a penny on the high Iron. I thoroughlly enjoyed your professioal skills make this and a cup of coffey top of the heap as Frank Sonatra sang. Thank you D&B!

8:15 look at those gas prices!

[@whiteknightcat]

Back in March I traveled with my daughter and granddaughter to the Grand Canyon. Out route took us through Albuquerque and from there westward on IH 40 to Williams, AZ. We paralleled the BNSF transcon most of the way. I'd never seen such a densely traveled corridor in all my life - one train after another after another, with at least two three-way meets before the sun set on us. After the Grand Canyon adventure, we decided to visit Sedona which added a whole day delay to our return trip, so we had to stay overnight in Flagstaff. I secretly managed to ferret out a hotel directly across from the Seligman Sub double main on the east side of town. Unfortunately, my daughter beat me to the office and we ended up with a room not facing the tracks, but we could hear them ... one after another. What was cool was I pulled up the Virtual Railfan channel for Flagstaff, and amazed my granddaughter by being able to predict when an eastbound would roll by the hotel (after seeing it on the passenger station camera two miles to our west). Similarly, we'd hear westbounds go by and then watch them show up on camera two minutes later.

The sound of all that jointed rail is great. Pretty unique seeing these operations out west being from PA.

One another amazing trainvideo from you. Its nearly possible to understand that they where abel to built railroad tracks in that wild and sometimes impossible terrain. Like arizona. Thank you from Sweden.

[@JeffHaas-haasman]

Thanks this. Your historical information, the identification of engines etc AND your photgraphy including zooming out to maintain the full train as long as possible is really appreciated.

[@dbags76]

Awesome video! I use to work for Phelps Dodge High Performance Conductors in South Carolina and they gave us these books that was about 2 inches thick. The book talked about the history of copper mining. There was some great photos of the Morenci mine In that book.

Shame the mine tracks aren’t still electrified on that first railroad; electrics make great locos for tackling steep grades.
